So here's my honest take on Papercopy - Tracer. I've tested a bunch of drawing and tracing apps, and this one's pretty solid. The core functionality works really well - it's easy to grab an image, adjust it, and then use your paper to sketch it out. And the freeze screen feature is a game-changer, and the transparency controls are super handy. That said, the UI feels a bit dated and there's a learning curve to figure out all the different tools. But once you get the hang of it, it's a really useful app to have. Definitely recommend it for artists, designers, or anyone who needs to copy stuff from their screen.

Description

I’ve been using Papercopy – Tracer for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you copy images from your screen and sketch them out on paper. Pretty solid if you’re into digital art or helping the kids with their drawings.

Here’s what you do: you open an image in the app, then you can zoom, rotate, and move it around. And there’s also a cool freeze screen feature so the image doesn’t move when you’re tracing. And you can adjust the transparency to get the right amount of opacity. Took me a bit to figure all that out but once I got the hang of it, it’s been super useful.

Look, if you’re an artist or just someone who needs to copy stuff from your phone to paper, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a little clunky at times – but overall it gets the job done. Worth checking out for sure.

This is THE BEST tracing software I've ever used...BTW I basically use this as a drawing reference 'scale'.Because it's helps me to keep track of the sause of the image...
